Crime And Punishment

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky Raskolnikov a
destitute and desperate former student wanders through the
slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without
remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be a great man a
Napoleon: acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional
moral law. But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat
and mouse with a suspicious police investigator
Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his
conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening
around his neck. Only Sonya a downtrodden sex worker can
offer the chance of redemption.
